Oh Boldruler, again proven wrong
Tagg mentions nothing of going back to the dirt. The writer insinuates this. It isn't happening. I can assure you he would much rather face the euros on the grass than Invasor or Bernardini on the dirt.

Lets stick to facts and actual words from Tagg.

"With that goal in mind, he has mapped out a schedule that consists of the Secretariat Stakes on Aug. 12 at Arlington Park, the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic on Oct. 7 at Belmont and the Breeders’ Cup Turf on Nov. 4 at Churchill Downs. Sweeping those races may not compare to what Barbaro could have accomplished, but it would be fine in its own right."
